Murders
We felt like Hungarians, not just Jews
normal people
They took away our parents,
They took away our siblings,
They took away our identities,

People are not born with hatred of Jews,
They acquire it

Where were they taking us?
Auchwitz
We were forced into labor camps,
very uncomfortable
The hunger and the lice

a horrendous journey
We were forced into gas chambers
It was a war against Jews,
a persecution of Jews
Viscous, hostile Nazi soldiers,
Throwing people into these fire pits
thousands of people

The Holocaust was so hostile.

Rationale:
I chose to revolve the poem around murders, because during the Holocaust Jews were brutally killed every day by the Nazis. They did it because they thought that Jews were to blame for World War 1, which isn't a valid reason and they did it in such massive amounts, that it is no doubt unreasonable killings, or murders. All of the words and phrases work together in a sequence, the beginning sets the stage, the middle shows where it was, and the third says how its done.
